2002 Global E-Quality - Rethinking ICTs in Africa, Asia and Latin America
March 25 - 27 
Maastricht, Netherlands Today's world can very well be considered to be a wired one, encapsulated by what is known as the World Wide Web. As the digitisation of society unfolds, there is an increasing need to know whether bytes indeed travel freely across the world. What are the consequences of the digitisation of society at a global scale? What happens when global bytes arrive at particular local sites? Will this enhance e-quality globally? This work- conference will confront these issues by analysing Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), with a particular focus on the Internet, in countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America.
